Skin Imperfections

Rosacea

An inflammatory response where the skin becomes flushed and vasodilated very easily.  The symptoms begin with flushing and redness on the central face and across the cheeks, nose or forehead, but can also affect the neck, chest, ears and scalp.

We offer skin peels and soothing at home after care for Rosacea sufferers.

Thread Veins / Red Veins / Broken Capillaries

These are conditions that are most commonly found on the face (particularly around the nose) and legs. They can be caused by many factors, including ageing, pregnancy, harsh weather and smoking. The needle is put on to the vein (not in) and then an electrical current is released. The current will cauterize the vein, killing the vessel wall and causing the blood to coagulate, come to the surface and then disappear.

Skin Tags and Milia

Skin tags are very common and normally found around the bust, neck or areas of friction such as the underarm. They are harmless but can be both unsightly and irritating.

Milia are very small, white,  cysts which lie superficially under the surface of the skin, commonly around the eye area.

All of these conditions are benign and treated by gently inserting the needle into the area and then releasing the electrical current which kills it from the inside, allowing it to dry up and fall off.

Melasma

Characterised by dark, irregular patches commonly found on the upper cheeks, nose, lips, upper lip and forehead which often develop over time.  Particularly common in women especially pregnant women and those taking oral or patch contraceptives or HRT medications.  This exact cause is not know but is linked to hormonal changes rather than sun damage

Age Spots

Blemishes on the skin associated with ageing and exposure to UV light.  They are located in areas most often exposed to the sun, particularly the hands, face, shoulders, arms and forehead.  They range in colour from light brown to red to black.

Hypo-pigmentation

Hypo-pigmentation is the partial loss of skin colour hypopigmented skin is abnormally light when compared to the surrounding skin and occurs when the skin produces too little melanin.  The most common causes are after an injury to the skin or by regular intake of particular medications.
